<p>Colby is in Maine, and is one of the NESCAC schools. My understanding is that it’s still need-blind for RD & ED applicants, but (like many other schools) are not for waitlist, transfer, etc. That’s what’s so problematic about waitlists for students with financial need–schools tell you ahead of time that by the time they go to the waitlist, they can’t guarantee if they’ll have any financial aid money left. BUT–that said–Colby does a GREAT job with aid for those with financial need who are accepted!</p>
